Wheel Crazy for a Cure!

Thank you for checking in on Team Wheel Crazy's Page! We had a fantastic turn out with our Flavors of Living event on April 6th, bringing in just shy of $3,000 from vendor support, admission, silent auction bids, and random donations! A huge thank you to Lightning 100 DJ Lt. Dan for promoting our event with such passion during the Live Broadcast, and thank you to Dan's dad Don, a Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma Survivor for OVER 20 YEARS for sharing his story on the air during the event! Thank you also to LLS Executive Director of the TN Chapter, Jeff Parsley for coming out with his family and also speaking on the air about the mission and progress of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society! Thank you to Hilton Garden Inn Cool Springs for donating their beautiful space to our Team, so that we could maximize every single penny brought in that day; and finally, thank you to Hospital Corporation of America (HCA) for reimbursing our team for the few out-of-pocket expenses we did incur to make the event possible.

Now we are in Phase 2 of our Team's efforts. TODAY (Monday, April 14th), is Re-Commitment day for participants aiming high for America's Most Beautiful Bike Ride around Lake Tahoe. Nine members of Team Wheel Crazy are making that final confirmation to Team In Training for Lake Tahoe, while the other four will be confirming later in the month to explore the beautify of Tennessee at the Harpeth River Ride.

We are serious about reaching (and hopefully EXCEEDING) our team fundraising goals, but we still need your help. Please join us at the following upcoming fundraising events to benefit the TEAM.

We also have a CHARITY YARD SALE on Saturday, April 19th in Burns, TN. All items in the Yard Sale have been donated by family, friends, co-workers, and ourselves as a way to help boost fundraising for our teammates. 100% of every dollar raised at the yardsale goes to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. We will accept cash, Checks made out to "LLS," and we can even accept credit card payments for Yard Sale purchases on our fundraising pages!

If you are not able to participate in either of the above two Fundraising Events, please consider making a donation to one of our individual Teammate Pages. The following Teammates need the most help in reaching their individual fundraising goals (in order of help needed):

All dollars donated to their individual pages will also count towards our TEAM Total. As each teammate reaches their goal, they will be removed from the list above.

Donating to this TEAM Page will split your dollars evenly among ALL Teammates (including those who have ALREADY reached their goal). We strongly encourage you to randomly pick an individual teammate instead. Our Primary Goal is to FIRST make sure every one of us reaches our minimum, THEN continue fundraising above and beyond that number!

Come taste the Flavors of Living: Swim, Bike, Run, Paddle, Hike, Climb! Admission to this event gets you complimentary food samples, access to free demonstrations and amazing discounts at vendor booths, plus a chance to participate in the most active Silent Auction to benefit The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS), featuring outfitters, clothing, and gear all connected to the theme of active living! 100% of proceeds from this event benefits The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, and help the Team In Training Cycle Team reach their goal of $40,000 while training for their 100 mile bike rides around Lake Tahoe and/or Williamson County.

Your tickets will be available at the Pre-Registration table at the event!

Tickets also available at the door!
